Any coin that can be mined by CPU is a bad idea, as it's network can be dominated by a massive botnet.

On case of Magicoin hashrate is limited to 250 Kh/s by user but you can to get a thing beetwen 6 or 10 coins for day only.
That doesn't stop a botnet in any form, it just makes the creator make each infected pc mine on a new user that sends the funds to the main person.

Its true, But as far as almost of pools have a legend about "Botnets are not welcome" , And if the operator of pool detected any activity relationated with this like to a big number of accounts created recently, they can cancelled all accounts suspicious.
if it is a successful botnet it will have the hashrate to be its own pool, no need for others.

Even so devs of coins can get to ban nodes  suspicious  if they want of the same way that they banned an node when they dont update an compulsory release.
